Becoming a member of Phi Sigma Kappa will give you an opportunity experience a community of more than 100 undergraduate and over 1200 alumni members. This belief supports our first Cardinal Principle, To Promote Brotherhood. Being a part of our fraternity is an experience like no other. It gives each person a chance to form lifelong bonds with the other members of the group. Just imagine spending your college career living with 51 of your good friends! Our fraternity also has one of the most diverse memberships of any fraternity at NIU. We seek members with a diverse background to enhance our brotherhood. We promote the spirit of brotherhood both within our fraternity and in our community. We live by our fraternities Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”. It is important to note that our brotherhood has a long and rich history at NIU. Our local chapter was established in 1967 and remains one of the oldest fraternal organizations at NIU.

Imagine getting paid for good grades! In order to foster scholastic achievement within the fraternity, the Phi Sigma Kappa Alumni Association of NIU gives almost $13,000 annually to its undergraduate members as a reward for receiving good grades. This commitment drives our second Cardinal Principle To Stimulate Scholarship. Each semester scholarships are awarded to the highest GPA, highest new member GPA, most improved GPA, and all members with a GPA over 3.0. One of our distinguished alumnus (Herb Eldean) has established a one (1) million dollar endowed fund that annually grants additional scholarships to all Phi Sig business majors. We also award incoming students (non members) with financial assistance (via scholarships) to help them adjust to their first semester at NIU. As you can see we strongly encourage academic success.

Phi Sigma Kappa seeks to develop the highest degree of character in its members. Through fraternity experience, a member will become more confident in his own abilities, better respected by his peers and better able to succeed in his life after college. We believe strongly that every member should embody our third Cardinal Principle To Develop Character. We aim to fortify our members with courage to be upstanding members of our society. There is no greater measure of a man than his ability to be respected by his family, friends, and community. Phi Sigma Kappa seeks to develop these qualities in all our members.
